Leadership Council Meeting
The leadership council meeting for Sunday, August 8 has been pushed back a half-hour since there is no Sunday School. Please take a close look at the people who are serving on your respective committees and determine whether you feel that you have the appropriate representation, whether there are people who would like to step down, to continue to serve or be added.
We are working to prepare for the business meeting in September and want to be able to present a roster to the congregation to approve. If you have any questions, you can send them to the pastorate.
Additionally, please be prepared to report on the activities of your committee and bring your calendar with you.
